Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about Gaelic Themes products, manufacturing, bespoke work and how to make an enquiry.
How do I enquire or place an order?
Open a product and select Enquire about this product, or contact our team through the Contact page.
Include the product name or code, quantity, required date and any customisation in your message. We will respond with the appropriate next steps.
This website is a catalogue; orders and quotations are handled by our team rather than an online checkout.
Who do you supply?
We primarily supply trade customers. Businesses can apply for a trade account; private customers can find a stockist or ask about a product.
What is the difference between off the peg, made to order and made to measure?
Our Off the Peg jackets and waistcoats are ready-made and available from stock in standard sizes, subject to availability. All other garments in Jackets & Tailoring are made to order: we make them after you place your order, either in a standard size or to your individual measurements. Made to measure is a sizing option within our made-to-order range. Contact our team for sizing advice and current lead times.
Do you undertake bespoke or custom designs?
Yes. We work on made-to-measure Highlandwear, pipe band projects, custom metalwork, private-label development and other specialist commissions. Use our custom manufacturing enquiry to share your brief, quantities and reference artwork.
How do I get measured for a made-to-measure kilt?
Accurate waist, seat and finished-length measurements are essential. Contact our team or an authorised stockist before measuring so we can provide the correct guidance for the garment being ordered.
Can you match an earlier Gaelic Themes order?
Often, yes. Please provide the original customer name, order number and any garment or tartan details you have. We will confirm what information remains available before promising an exact match.
What does Gaelic Themes do?
